O'Neill had a Fr Kelly story at the 100 year banquet. Towards end of the head coaches forum.

I think O'Neill said he was one of the kindest souls he ever knew

This is more of a Crean (sucks) story than a Fr. Kelly story but ..

The (past) owner of my company was McGuire's god-son. At some point he connected with Crean and went on an away-game junket, I think it was @Pitt. Got to hang around the team, including in the locker room.

Minutes before the game, Crean is firing up the team.. "I hate these f'ing guys, and their f'ing coach, we're going to f'ing beat the sht out of these effers. The refs are f'ing awful and this stadium effing sucks, let's effing win this game!!!! (pause) ...... Ok, Father, give us a blessing."

Father Kelly references start around the 19:00 minute mark. And then the 29:00 mark.
